In some instances, you may want to add a C1TabStrip control to your project in code. In this topic, you will learn how to create a C1TabStrip control with three C1Tab objects using C# and Visual Basic code.

Complete the following steps:

1. Add a PlaceHolder control to your Web page.

2. In Design view, double-click the page to add a Page_Load event to the project and to switch to the code editor.

3. Import the following namespace into your project:

• Visual Basic

Imports C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1TabStrip

• C#

using C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1TabStrip;

4. Create the C1TabStrip object and add it to your project by placing the following code in the Page_Load event:

• Visual Basic

Dim NewTabStrip As C1TabStrip = New C1TabStrip()

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(NewTabStrip)

• C#

C1TabStrip NewTabStrip = new C1TabStrip();

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(NewTabStrip);

5. Create three C1Tab objects and add them to the C1TabStrip control. This code should also be added to the Page_Load event.

• Visual Basic

'Create three C1Tab objects and set their 'Text' property

Dim C1Tab1 As C1Tab = New C1Tab("C1Tab1")

Dim C1Tab2 As C1Tab = New C1Tab("C1Tab2")

Dim C1Tab3 As C1Tab = New C1Tab("C1Tab3")

'Add the three C1Tab objects to the C1TabStrip

NewTabStrip.Tabs.Add(C1Tab1)

NewTabStrip.Tabs.Add(C1Tab2)

NewTabStrip.Tabs.Add(C1Tab3)

• C#

//Create three C1Tab objects and set their 'Text' property

C1Tab C1Tab1 = new C1Tab("C1Tab1");

C1Tab C1Tab2 = new C1Tab("C1Tab2");

C1Tab C1Tab3 = new C1Tab("C1Tab3");

//Add the three C1Tab objects to the C1TabStrip

NewTabStrip.Tabs.Add(C1Tab1);

NewTabStrip.Tabs.Add(C1Tab2);

NewTabStrip.Tabs.Add(C1Tab3);
